Eunice V. Fisher (  - 1984) from Oshkosh, Wisconsin was one of the earliest and most dedicated hosta enthusiasts in the United States. She was the first Secretary-Treasurer of the American Hosta Society when it was formed in 1968. The Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin has developed the Eunice V. Fisher Hosta Garden in her honor.

According to Zilis (2000) in the 1970s, she authored and self-published three editions of the first book on hostas titled Hosta: The Aristocratic Plant for Shady Gardens. She introduced over 40 cultivars of hosta.
